JODY DV TENORSAX MPC ??

[jak Swift]

One for each mpc ?? The JLV ( ??? ), looks very cool, if not a little complicated. Wouldn’t fancy a fast reed change using that…lol !! I don’t get too worried about them….
Lawton….inbuilt lig.
Wolfe Tayne original….screw lig. ( rare )
50,s Berg…..original, but different to later Bergs.
Jaksax original…work in progress.
Its saying something, when the lig is half the price of the mpc. I was watching a great player on you tube the other day. I’m convinced, he had wrapped twenty or more elastic \ rubber bands around the mpc. Sounded great !! I’ll try to find him a little later, see what you think ??

Looking at the JLV picture. I wonder if the ligature is mounted the right way round? It seems like the long fingers may be pressing against the vibrating part of the reed.
Either that or it is positioned too high up the MP. Surely the ligature shouldn’t damp the reed’s action as we use lip control for that?
